Just wondered if any of you guys will be able to make it to our Open Day - being held on Sunday 5th July.

Would love to see you and have a chat.

Kind regards
Adrian

Hi, well you are nice and handily situated Yanis.

Not like it looks like it ( Greece ).

I can`t go but we should all try to support this if we can.

Best Mark.

Well Mark, that's why I live in Birmingham-reminds me so much of good old Athens,+it's only a bus ride to Dudley;those little things that make the difference in life [Razz]

...Michael,for your info:
--Derann films in bargain prices
--film shows by Bob Nicholls
--bring & buy
--some independent sellers usually there too,with CDs,DVDs & memorabilia
...are you by any chance convinced now it's worth attending? [Wink]

I always enjoy them but I just wish I could get there more often. That's the problem with living in the arse end of nowhere!!!

I went to the open day on Sunday,first time i've been to the Dudley shop.Managed to pick up a very nice 16mm feature along with some super 8 200/400ft shorts/trailers and cutdowns.Got to see the cinema for a show and some faces i recognized as well,the bring and buy stall either sold well or didn't have much to start with but i'd already got my bits i'd come for so it didn't matter to me,Mark.

I would have gone but its a looooong way from kent but one day I will make the effort. (even longer for our friends overseas so I shouldnt moan too much!)

Hi Graham,
I can't remember the titles but one was a railway film about the trains being stuck in the snow,Snowdrift at bleak hill,not sure about the bleak part of the title,some old trailers and adverts all b/w followed by a b/w film about some 1940's/50's movie stars meeting in a London(i think) park,sadly i doubt any are alive today!! That was the only show i saw,sorry about the titles,but perhaps someone could give you the exact names, Mark.

Thanks Mark, Im always curious to know the titles shown and if I have them in my collection and if there are any new films shown not yet released.
